Which Arduinos will the LIFA work on? Which ones will it not work on?

[DoctorWho8]

Hello!

I have besides a UNO, several others. Which ones has the LIFA been tested on and found to work properly? Which ones were tested and found to not work on? Examples are the UNO, (known working), Mega (Unknown as I do not have one here),  Duemilanove, (known not to work by me), and so on.

I want to demonstrate to folks the behavior of the LIFA without bringing an entire UNO for example.

I have this kit, Mintronics: MintDuino, not built, but not necessarily known to work. It would be an interesting to see if the thing does work,

And I have this kit, Ardweeny, not built, but not necessarily tested. I am also interested in this one Mintronics: Menta, interested in it, because it wears an area for prototypes and can hold a minature breadboard similar to the styles sometimes used on the prototype shield. It can also support the shield families that the rest of them use.

Personally i have the uno R3 smd edition and dip package models working with labview. just make sure you use the close vi, hit stop in your for loop and let it execute the close vi dont hit stop on the labview program.

i had labview tying up my com line and it caused all kinds of problems.

The supported boards are listed under "Board Type" on the Init.vi.  It may work with others.

What does this mean?

Very simple. I don't want to bring the UNO, and this laptop.

Hello!

And to add to the amusement the example for the LED one, persists in ignoring its own drop downs. I keep selecting other then the UNO, but not the Mega, and it keeps flipping back to the UNO, and thence complaining that it can't find a non-existent device.

This baffles me.

So that means you are choosing the "Dimuelanove w/Atmega 328"? (the actual name is spelled:  Duemilanove)

  What do you mean it "keeps flipping back"?  Could you upload your VI?

Hello!

I am using the same one as described earlier for blinking the on-board LED. But I'll upload the local copy as an attachment.

The VI you posted is configured to use an Arduino Uno.

Also my earlier question:  What do you mean it "keeps flipping back"?

Hello!

The UNO is one of three devices it can be configured to use. That's the default. But there are available three different settings, one for the UNO. then one for the Mega, and finally one for the 328 based device. It is supposed to say, "Duemilanove", but instead it says "Diecimila" that is the setting I am trying to use. It keeps ignoring it, and reverting to the UNO.

Ideally it should be one of any of the three, and keep that setting. That is what I mean by "keeps flipping back".
